"Of course." Gu Xiaoqiao replied quickly.
"Okay then."
Xiao Jinghan curled his lips and smiled, "Since Miss Cheng is so anxious, then I will not beat around the bush with you."
"Are you really going to marry Song Shian?"
"The Queen Mother came forward to talk about coal. Does the Third Prince think this is fake?"
Gu Xiaoqiao asked casually while drinking.
"Then Miss Cheng, have you ever thought that Song Shian had other purposes in marrying you?"
Xiao Jinghan did not answer, but asked a question.
Gu Xiaoqiao pretended to be stunned and looked at the other person in confusion: "What other purpose?"
"Didn't Song Shian marry you just for the status and military power of your Cheng family?"
Xiao Jinghan's tone was tinged with sarcasm.
"Although the Cheng family is not a large family, they have made many military achievements in recent years and have made great contributions to the court."
"Your Cheng family's influence in the imperial court is growing day by day, and you look so much like the Second Miss Lu he married before. He married you at this critical moment. Do you think he really likes you?"
Xiao Jinghan gave a long and well-organized speech, which made people convinced.
"So the Third Prince is saying that Prince Song is not a good match?"
Gu Xiaoqiao raised an eyebrow and looked at the other person, asking with a smile.
"If you really want to marry, you might as well marry me."
As Xiao Jinghan spoke, he stretched out a hand, ready to lift her chin so that she could look up at him.
"Your Highness, please respect yourself."
Gu Xiaoqiao calmly slapped the other's claw away, then her face turned cold. "Your Highness, if you tease an unmarried girl like this, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation if it gets out."
"Miss Cheng is quite considerate of me. In that case, I cannot let you down. Miss Cheng, please seriously consider what I just said."
"consider?"
Gu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but scoff, "Is the Third Prince planning to insult our Cheng family? Your Highness, don't forget that you just married the Third Prince's wife last year. Now you're saying this to a minister. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Xiao Jinghan did not get angry, but laughed: "She is she, and Miss Cheng is Miss Cheng. Although I can only make you a concubine now, I can assure Miss Cheng that you are the most important person in my heart, and besides..."
Having said that, he paused and added another sentence.
"I also sincerely like Miss Cheng."
Gu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Third Prince, I don't agree with what you said."
"Miss Cheng, what do you mean?"
Xiao Jinghan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her dangerously.
How come this woman refuses to be persuaded by anything?
"Nothing, I just feel that your Highness's thoughts are too much for me to bear."
Gu Xiaoqiao ignored him and picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
"You don't have to follow Song Shian to follow me? All he can give you is a mere position as the Crown Prince's Consort, but I can give you more!"
Xiao Jinghan was a little annoyed, so he just spoke frankly.
But Gu Xiaoqiao only said three words calmly, "For example?"
"For example, when I ascend the supreme throne, you will be the mother of the world. How about that?"
"For example, your Cheng family's status and position will be higher, at least ensuring that your family's foundation will last for a hundred years."
Gu Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and looked at him, "So what?"
She couldn't help but sneer.
"Your Highness, not everyone has your ambitions. At least my parents don't think so. You said that Prince Song has other intentions towards me, but I think Your Highness has even greater intentions towards me."
Xiao Jinghan's expression instantly turned gloomy, "So, what do you want?"
"Now that things have come to this, I, your Highness, will make my position clear to you. I only want to marry Song Shian. I am not interested in anything else."
"Whether you believe it or not, I just like Song Shian. No matter what his purpose is, I am willing to take responsibility."
After Gu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Your Highness, please pull the boat to the shore. I will take my leave now."
Xiao Jinghan looked at her arrogant appearance, and for some reason, he suddenly had the urge to conquer this woman.
At the same time, he counted in his mind.
One, two, three... seven, eight, nine. Just when Gu Xiaoqiao took the ninth step, her body shook.
